more. Moto G4 Plus also consists of a Full High Definition resolution and the

Design:

With amazing design and configuration, the Moto G5 Plus is
similar to other expensive mobile phones. The Moto G5 Plus consists of
dimensions 150.2 x 74 x 7.7 - 9.7mm, and it is a few millimeters shorter than
Moto G4 Plus in both length and width. Although the phone has a larger screen,
the phone is a good fit in hand. At the bottom of the mobile phone, there is a
Micro USB port and an incredible fingerprint sensor.

The Moto G5 is a 5-inch mobile phone with a micro USB port
at the bottom and a small notch that will enable you to remove the battery. It

standard 3.5mm earphone port at the top and a volume rocker; the power button
is placed underneath it. In the front part of the mobile phone, there is the
front camera and speaker with a Moto logo and at the base, there is a unique
fingerprint sensor and microphone.

Unlike the Moto G5 Plus and the Moto G5, the Moto G4 is a
5.5-inch mobile phone with delicate features and design. When you hold the
mobile phone for the first time, you will notice that while it has a good hold,
it can get slippery as well. You will need to pop off the back cover to place
your sim card and microSD card in their respective slots. The mobile phone
consists of a fingerprint sensor which is quite responsive and unlocks the

Battery:

The Moto G5 Plus comes with a non-removable Li-Ion 3000 mAh
battery that provides pretty good battery life. Though the battery life most
depends on how many hours you spend browsing the internet on your mobile phone
or watch a video in Full High Definition. At the end of the day; however, you
may need to charge the mobile phone.

On the other hand, the Moto G5 comes with a removable Li-Ion
2800 mAh battery, which to be fair, is not much and you will need to charge the
mobile phone every day. If the use is moderate, it lasts considerably longer, with
100% charge, if you use your mobile phone only for taking calls and texting,
checking or sending emails, you will observe that at the end of the day, the
charge has decreased to only 60%. If you
browse the internet and watch a few videos however, the charge tends to go down
pretty quickly.

Similar to Moto G5 Plus, the Moto G4 Plus comes with a
non-removable Li-Ion 3000 mAh battery. While it may seem that it has a great
battery life, what you need to consider that it needs to power a 5.5-inch
mobile phone. A larger consumes a lot more power so with 100% charge, if you
watch a Full High Definition video for an hour, the charge will decrease to
only up to 70% – 65%.
